#oneforallallfortheclimate
We believe in teamwork, and we are many: associations, clubs, athletes, educational institutions, companies, fans. Our network, ranging from handball player Steffen Weinhold and TC Dinklage to Schafhof Connects and Sportfive, GKS Holdorf and Gymnasium Lohne, Team Malizia and the Forest Green Allgäu to SV Waldhof Mannheim and the German Football Association (DFB), already represents more than 25 million athletes. We all share one goal: a climate-just future in which sports also need to contribute their part. Our annual network meetings showcase how diverse the sports community is in addressing various sustainability issues.

With an urgent appeal for the preservation of our livelihoods, we have gone public with Sports for Future 2019 in order to contribute to the climate debate with a prominent and relevant voice. This alliance of athletes, clubs, associations and other supporters is taking a clear stance, facing up to the responsibility that sport must assume as one of the important pillars of society, especially because sport itself contributes to the climate crisis.
Die Initiative wird von einem Netzwerk aus der Sportwelt unterstützt. Zu den Initiatoren zählen SV Werder Bremen, VfL Osnabrück, Deutsche Sportjugend (dsj), Global United FC e.V., Fabian Hambüchen, Anni Friesinger, Holger Nikelis, Sebastian Polter, Jacqueline Otchere, Lutz Pfannenstiel und TSG 1899 Hoffenheim.
Sports for Future, as a movement for an entire industry, operates as a registered non-profit association with a clearly defined agenda. "We want to bring sport together, challenge it and pool its strengths in order to take a clear stance. We are committed to a rational, science-based implementation of the Paris Climate Agreement, a future worth living for young people and future generations, a fair, respectful culture of debate, solidarity and a social team spirit," explains Stefan Wagner, co-founder of Sports for Future e.V.
Based on this foundation, Sports For Future is dedicated to launching its own initiatives, supporting projects, increasing knowledge, and strengthening sustainability, climate protection, and democracy. To achieve these goals, Sports For Future relies on partnerships, including those with the Cologne Business School, the Climate Arena in Sinsheim, and other educational institutions.
